... why are there BATTLES in my music game?
... why is the cheat code to unlock all songs (so i don't have to deal with the above) SO LONG?

ow, fingers
Hey, look, someone threw out a PS2!
And two guitar controllers!
And a copy of Guitar Hero 3!
And they all work!
Strangely enough, this is true.
Not so strangely - Picking up new game and immediately playing a few songs (on medium) has resulted in my pinky going "OW!"
That being the case, I'm not going to play it any more until we find a memory card so that I don't have to start from scratch every time...

I am linking this purely because of the name
Love Root Zero KissKiss Labyrinth
... I mean, how can you not want to play that? :)
(It's apparently a GirlxBoy romance/RPG, but as I do not have a Japanese PS2 and do not read Japanese the point's academic.)

friendliness
There are the beginnings of quiet sulking that I have already invested more time in playing my new Zelda than in messing with Odin Sphere.
Dear reader, please recall that I actually *own* a DS. I chose it for myself. I have multiple games. I am quite fond of the thing. Among its many merits, it is well designed for a busy computer user, who may be waiting through a long boring upload or compile or server-is-down or any number of other things that leave me bored for very short periods of time. The DS is easy to pick up and play a little and then close if I suddenly need to do something else.
I do not own a PS2. There is one in the house, but it's not mine. Using it requires leaving my stuff and going and setting myself up somewhere else, where I can do nothing but play the PS2. It may require plugging and unplugging things, depending on who's been fooling around with the house equipment. And, of course, everyone can watch me play. It is not as conducive to spur-of-the-moment gaming desire.
Both these devices will quickly leave me with sore hands. One just feels a little more welcoming in the process.
... There are times when I'd *like* to be able to beam the DS image onto the TV for everyone to watch, of course...
Maybe I just have too short an attention span?

merry christmas
I have been given a copy of Odin Sphere
Upside - It always did look cool.
Downside - I, er, don't know how to use a PS2. The controllers are so big! Controllers should never have gotten bigger than the SNES! You don't need all these controls! :)
first comments:
I really am out of practise gripping big game controllers. Fighting to the first boss I found (unicorn knight?) and taking a couple of attempts to kill him left me with ouchiness inside my elbows and sore thumbs.
It's very pretty, and fun in the old-school way (although the idea of having to level up instead of pumping in more quarters is still slightly strange.... yes, I played through the whole X-Men six-player beat-em-up in the arcades. And the TMNT one except I ran out of quarters at the end boss and had to leave, VERY sulkily.) but I'm still a bit baffled by bits of it. And having trouble getting the hang of the controller. I find the symbol-buttons on the playstation less memorable than the letters of the Nintendo games and I keep forgetting what's what. (Also, sometimes, a button press doesn't seem to do what I expect... maybe because I can't check my items while I'm reeling from an attack?)
